Met friends at one of our very favorite places to dine in Hochatown..... The focaccia bread and homemade butter were over the top good. The bread had perfect crispness on the outside with soft and cushiony inside. Perfecto!!!! My husband and I adore their brussels sprouts appetizer with the sweety drop peppers. That char makes it impossible to eat just one. I ordered the chicken pesto sub sandwich and my husband ordered the alfredo pasta with grilled chicken. I have honestly never had an item here that wasn't just delicious. The service is impeccable and we enjoy the laid back atmosphere. read more

Kelsey the bartender was absolutely fabulous. The food seems to have changed quite a bit since we were there a couple years ago. The meatballs weren't as good this time. The pizza crust didn't have very much flavor, it was very bland. The sauce and the sausage was really good though. read more

Stopped by for a quick dinner after kayaking. I made a 6:15 reservation on Resy, and they seated us right away. It was our first time here, and our server, Liz, was awesome. She recommended the lasagna, so Sacha ordered that with a side of confit mushrooms. I went with a salad with avocado and added grilled chicken. The food was mostly great, but the chicken was a total miss--it seemed broiled to death instead of grilled, and it came out on a separate plate. Honestly, it was inedible. But before we could even say anything, Liz noticed it didn't look right and immediately comped it. Exceptional service totally saved the night. We'll definitely be back to try more of the pasta next time we're in Hochatown! read more

We had a 6:15 reservation and had a great experience at Pressa Italia in Hochatown. Our waitress, Liz, was fantastic. She was a blonde with a great smile, very friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. I asked her for a recommendation because I always judge an Italian restaurant by how well they can make a simple classic like spaghetti and meatballs. If a restaurant takes pride in homemade meatballs and fresh pasta, that says a lot about the kitchen. Liz recommended the lasagna instead, saying it was one of their signature dishes, and I'm glad I listened--it was excellent. I also ordered the sautéed mushrooms on the side, and they were absolutely delicious with plenty of garlic and great flavor. My wife ordered a salad and asked to add grilled chicken. The chicken came on the side, cut into small pieces, and unfortunately it was very dry and didn't really seem grilled. Before we even had to mention it, Liz noticed it herself, apologized, and removed it from our bill without us asking. That kind of attention to detail and customer service really stood out. Between the excellent service, the delicious lasagna, and the amazing mushrooms, we had a wonderful dinner. The only miss was the chicken, but Liz handled it so professionally that it didn't take away from the experience. We'll definitely be back. Five stars! read more

So good!!!!!!!! The pizza was incredible and might be some of the best I'd have! The pasta was just as good and was so awesome to dip the pizza in vodka sauce! The place is also adorable and cute! The service was honestly somewhat slow but honestly that is somewhat to be expected on a Saturday and also just a slower paced environment which is nice to enjoy dinner! read more

First, I'd like to say the servers were very nice and professional. The restaurant is cute in a French brunch garden type feel. The pizza oven is beautiful and I loved the open kitchen. But, the chairs are horrendous. Metal stack chairs designed to ensure no leisurely dining or your butt will be numb. I wanted to order a fish or chicken dish in a Northern Italian style but didn't find any such option in the menu. None of the appetizers are gluten-free so we couldn't try those either. Lots of bottles of wine but I only wanted a glass, only Italian Chardonnay offered, so had the Decoy Merlot instead. It's a solid Merlot that I've had before but I can't drink too much red. Pasta was to be my savior since they have a gluten-free angel hair but as we waited to order we were able to hear the table to our left and to our right complain. Table on left, "Flavorless...bland, etc". Table on right, "Terribly overcooked pasta, can't eat it." So, pasta was out. It's a small menu, that left pizza. Hubs ordered the Margherita and while his topping were delicious and his pizza properly baked, the dough was not properly stretched and made for a biscuit dough type crust except the middle. I ordered the gluten-free Miele Caldo, a hot honey over pepperoni, arugula and goat cheese pizza. The toppings were excellent, perfect cupping on the pepperoni, the sauce a tad sweet, but overall good. The crust though! Yuck. The absolute worst gluten-free pizza I've ever had anywhere in the world. First off, it looked like a grocery store brand with the poked holes on the crust. Second, it was hard as a rock. Seriously, I could've shaved the sides into rigid peaks and used it as a weapon. It was completely white on the bottom so no idea on earth how they turned into cement. At $28 per personal pizza they are selling an elevated experience and bringing a food court one. read more

Pressa is the shining star of Broken Bow dining. Honestly, it would be a hit in almost any neighborhood in Dallas. The space is enchanting, with huge windows and an atmosphere that feels like magnolia-meets-Italian chic--relaxed, stylish, and welcoming. The ambiance alone makes it feel like a destination. Drinks and appetizers or dinner with the family. The menu is relatively short, which I appreciate. I like to see a focused menu done well than a long list of mediocre options. Everything about this restaurant feels intentional. The Caesar salad was great--balanced and not overly anchovy-heavy. The bruschetta came with four large pieces topped with the perfect amount of tomatoes, olive oil, and balsamic. Simple, done beautifully and delicious. The wine list is solid and fits the menu well. This is definitely a higher-end dinner spot, with the filet priced around $55. There's no kids' menu, but thankfully my picky crew loved the pizza--crust included, which says a lot. Reservations recommended! read more

This restaurant has a wonderful ambiance and the decor is quite beautiful. Whoever designed this restaurant has spectacular taste and you can tell that every item was placed with purpose. The waitress was very friendly and the restaurant was fairly empty for lunch on a weekday. We were seated promptly and served efficiently. The Brussel sprouts were seasoned well and the tiny peppers made it seem very high end and sophisticated. The pizza had great toppings however the crust could have been more chewy and had more developed flavor. You can definitely tell that this restaurant uses high quality ingredients, but they could definitely improve the pizza dough. My diagnosis: gorgeous decor with great Italian food overall. read more

Pressa Italia was absolutely spectacular. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but this is classy Italian dining and the quality absolutely backs it up. The ambiance is adorable and genuinely makes you feel like you've stepped into a little spot in Italy--warm, charming, and thoughtfully designed. The service was also top-notch from start to finish: attentive, friendly, and well-paced. Every dish we tried was delicious, with generous portions across the board. The pizza was a standout--perfectly chewy crust and well-seasoned. The La Carne is a must for meat lovers. And while I'm usually not a goat cheese fan, the Miele Caldo pizza completely changed my mind. So good. The Brussels sprouts were incredibly flavorful and impressively crispy. Honestly, everything we ordered was a hit. We went for weekday lunch, had no wait, plenty of seating, and easy parking. For 11 people, our total after tax and tip was around $250, which felt very reasonable for a high-end brunch-style Italian meal. If you're in Broken Bow / Hochatown and want elevated Italian food with great vibes and service, Pressa Italia is absolutely worth it! Check it out! read more

Finally, a higher end restaurant in the Broken Bow area without the business formal attire requirement. After spending days cooking out at the rental cabin, I was excited to learn about this place for a nice night out. Reservations: Recommended via Resy online Location: Right off the main highway (259) between Hochatown and Broken Bow closer to south end of Hochatown. It's in the new Hochabow shopping center with ample parking. Wine selection is great for its size. For example, their Cabernet by the glass is the deliciously smooth DAOU and that's what Ruth's Chris sells as well except Pressa's price was $4 less. They have a wall of various wine selections you can easily look at too. Expresso martini was delicious; add Baileys as that makes it smoother. The food was all delicious with ample portions: - Caesar salad (not a strong anchovies flavor) - Bruschetta - Focaccia bread and olive oil, balsamic, garlic butter - Fettuccini alfredo with crusted chicken on top - Brussel sprouts (with that salty flash fried taste like high end steakhouses make them) - Mushrooms (thick pieces) Our waitress was super nice. Service wasn't fast, but we wanted to take our time and relax. The inside is super cute and the private unisex bathroom was nice and clean as well. This is a must visit place when in Broken Bow. I wore athletic gear and a hat inside, so go enjoy a nice dinner without having to dress up! read more

Lasia and Kate were fantastic servers! Their friendly, attentive service made the experience even better. The customer service and ambiance are both exceptional--such a gorgeous space with beautiful, tasteful décor. The meatballs, mushrooms, and pizza were absolutely fabulous and are definite must-orders. The Limoncello Martini was refreshing, delicious, and perfect for beating the heat! The only thing that could make this place even better would be a solo guitarist playing live music to complete the atmosphere. Highly recommend--I'll definitely be back! read more

I was so excited to try this place after seeing all the good reviews and everyone saying how their waiters were so knowledgeable and kind. I asked for gluten free pasta and to make sure the sauce didn't have any secret gluten she said it was all safe. After the first bite I was scared because it didn't taste like the normal gluten free pasta I'm used to. My waiter didn't come back for 20 minutes after receiving and reassured me it was fine. I finished my pasta which was really good. Later I realized I had eaten gluten when I felt so sick. It felt like I was lied to based on going back to look at reviews on a gluten free food app and seeing the was other GF pasta looked compared to mine. I would be extremely cautious and careful here. The wait for our food was an hour with no one bringing water or drinks out but it was a Saturday night. The drinks came out after our food was served and we were asked if we'd like a free dessert but was scared it would take as long as the food. We asked if our non alcoholic drinks could be free and were told no. read more

Pressa Italia - Alfredo pasta, switched with grilled chicken instead of fried. - Italian Near Me - Broken Bow, Oklahoma

We didn't start off strong as it took a solid 10 minutes before someone came to take our drink order, but after that it was a 10/10 experience. We sat on the patio and watched storms roll by while enjoying the amazing food. The butter they served with the bread was SO good. I think it had garlic or something mixed it. Also, the lasagna was some of the best I've ever had. It was so cheesy and melty. We will definitely eat here again next time we visit the area! read more

This place has all the trademarks of a nice Italian restaurant minus one key feature, the food! Nice ambiance, slightly stuffy waitresses, high prices, BUT the food is awful. We came last year and were so impressed and really loved the food. Tried it again this year and I will be completely honest it was terrible. My wife ordered pesto pasta and when it came out we couldn't tell whose dish it was because it looked like plain noodles. Every dish we ordered had about 1/10th the sauce it should have. We asked if the chef could make one of the dishes spicier and they said sorry it's premade. All of this could be overlooked if it was your usual stop here and good prices but when you're spending $25 on a plate of pasta you expect minimal effort in the kitchen. At least put your premade sauces in some sautéed olive oil, onion, and garlic and give a normal amount of sauce. My chicken Alfredo has maybe 2 child spoon sizes of sauce. Definitely disappointed. Don't come expected quality. read more

This is a cute restaurant in a new development (from the looks of it). It would be perfect for a date night, or brunch on their patio. We were grabbing an early dinner on a Sunday, so the place was pretty dead. We sat at the bar and ordered dinner. The mocktail I got with the limoncello was really good! The chicken fettuccini dinner was awesome. My friend really liked his lunch baked ziti. I really enjoyed this restaurant! read more

This spot was a real surprise. The signage on the building is pretty misleading. You'd never guess there's an Italian restaurant and a few cute little shops tucked into this parking lot/complex (the first few times we passed it - I honestly though it was a winery or and office park). I only found it thanks to Yelp, and I'm glad I did. Honestly, this town could use a few more places like this. It's a refreshing step up from all the bar food and corn dog joints we kept driving past. We weren't super hungry, so we decided to split the meatball appetizer and the bowtie pasta Salsiccia. The meatballs were large, tender, and flavorful, a pretty solid start. The pasta dish featured mushrooms and sausage, and not just any sausage -- the good kind, decased and crumbled, not sliced. The sauce was subtle, and while it wasn't the best pasta I've ever had, it's definitely some of the best food we've had in the area. Our waitress, Alicia, was an absolute gem, she was friendly, helpful, and attentive. We were there on the early side for dinner, and it wasn't too crowded. I hope it gets busier and really thrives, because it's a little gem that deserves to stick around. I would have loved to have tried one of the pizzas! read more

Went here with a group of 8 girls for a bachelorette trip and had a great experience. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They turned the music down when we asked. The chef sent out complimentary Brussels sprouts and confit mushrooms because he had prepared extra. We also ordered the bread, bruschetta, and Caesar salads, and everything was delicious. The portions are pretty big. Most of us split entrées and still had food. The lasagna was hands-down the star of the meal and I will absolutely be thinking about it for a while. The spicy vodka pasta was also very good with a nice kick, and the Alfredo was delicious. The Hugo Spritz was excellent too. One of our meals was entered incorrectly and had to be remade, and they graciously gave us an extra entrée while fixing it. Great service, great food, and I would definitely recommend this place! read more

The cutest little Italian restaurant in the Broken Bow / Hochatown area! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was way above and beyond.

Best dinner during our week long visit to the area. I had the Limache and opted to add meatballs. When I see spicy on the menu, it's rare it matches the description. This was the best vodka sauce I've had. My family each enjoyed their plates just as much. Lasagna was one of a kind. Our server Kimberly was super kind and attentive. We cannot wait to return. read more

Outstanding food as always! Cant thank our server laisa enough, she was five star as always!

Food and service were fantastic and definitely recommended if you are in the area. Enjoy!

We noticed this was a new place we often visit broken bow. We ordered the lasagna. The taste wasn't bad just over loaded with cheese. I couldn't find the noodles or meat because there was sooo much cheese. The bruschetta we ordered for an app looks good, but the flavors don't meld well together. There was like pico all over the top with onions. It just tasted odd. We would like to order something different next time to see if maybe the lasagna was just off that night. The ambience is cute simple, but romantic. I think the area is still under renovation, and more shops are opening up soon. The courtyard looks like it's going to be pretty. They have a fireplace, and a fountain in the middle. Don't forget to stop at the chocolate shop next door sooo good! read more

Second visit started a little rough but finished strong. I called to confirm they were open since it is about 85 miles from home. Young lady answered and confirmed they were open until 9pm and absolutely no need for a reservation. Arrived at 4:15, to celebrate my birthday dinner to find they close for a lunch to dinner change from 4-5. Hmm open until 9 except... well no big deal at all as we drove around and shopped a bit. Came back just before 5 and they were madly scrambling to seat a large party and the 5 other walk ins they got because "no reservations" needed. They had 7pm reservations needing the tables and it was a bit concerning for a while and we were sat eventually but they did turn others away. They have to get this figured out but otherwise our second visit was just as spectacular. The food is exceptional, authentic and portions are enormous. We started with the calamari and the homemade marinara was perfectly seasoned and the calamari was very lightly breaded to perfection. Our pastas were so good we shared 50/50 and enjoyed both! They surprised us with a dessert for my birthday and we chose the Cannelloni which was really rich and lovely. Service was great, only odd thing was "keep your fork" was requested by the server between courses. We will be back again for sure. Making a reservation next time. read more

Really loved this spot!! Our server, Veronica, was wonderful and so knowledgeable. My daughter has celiac disease so she has to eat gluten free AND there cannot be any cross contamination. We called the day before to understand what precautions they take and spoke to Veronica and then requested her as our server the next day. They have a separate area of the kitchen where they prepare their GF items and pasta is boiled in water separate from the gluten pasta. Started with the charcuterie board which had all GF items AND they provided GF crackers! Then my daughter had their GF Margherita pizza which was so good (she generally prefers a more crispy crust and this was a bit softer). She also got their GF fettuccine in a red sauce with some chicken and it was so tasty! I got the Diavolo pizza (not gluten free) and it was so good but do wish the crust had been thinner. And we topped the meal with a GF chocolate torte! All of our non GF family members also enjoyed all of our food so we loved our experience and would definitely be back! read more

Just got home at 8pm, not late. It's the weekday, we understand you want to be home but to be basically kicked out at 8pm makes me reconsider going back. Floors needed to be redone, we get that; stacking metal chairs when we just got our food, unescapable. I am not your manager, I am not your owner but you should know better, you make the entire staff look bad. Not the front of the house people doing this, but obviously the back staff that want to get home... you are hurting this business. Food was great, wine was good, Jayden was Amazing.

Cannot say enough about how perfect this little tucked away beauty is! From the vibe of the whole center it's in, to the details of the super cute ambiance in the restaurant and the daily used herb garden for the food, this restaurant will not disappoint! Every bite of food was so delicious! Nothing over done or under seasoned at all! Every bite was so full of flavor and perfectly balanced. We were so full and overly content with everything. Try as much as you can! One pic we didn't get was the Bruschetta we started with. Such a nice refreshing bite before a pasta meal! And if the food doesn't impress you, the staff will! Everyone took the time to say hello and with a smile from the moment we walked in. We decided to sit at the bar, and if you have the opportunity to meet Liz behind the bar, you won't regret it! I'm pretty sure we chatted the entire time we were there! So knowledgeable on the menu and so personable on every level of convo!

Not welcoming!! We (4) walked in about 8:25pm on a Wednesday night. The restaurant closes at 9:00pm. The restaurant was not busy at all! Only 3 maybe 4 including someone seated outside tables were occupied. Upon checking in with the host we were asked if we had reservations. I didn't see anything about required reservations online or social media as we generally research the restaurants we select when traveling. We were told that we could not be seated because it was 8:30 and we didn't have a reservation. They offered orders to go, however I declined. I don't care to spend my money or support or restaurant that clearly did not want to serve us. read more

30 min wait just to get water. Appetizers arrived before our wine. Food came shortly after. Then the owner approached the table asking when we would be giving up the table because there was a reservation waiting. Where was her concern when we quietly and politely waited for first contact service. Reservation was 6:15. Got sat at 6:30. And out of there by 8. Meaning the delay was in the service. Over all poor experience. read more

Beautiful restaurant, artsy elevated vibe. Service was prompt & attentive. We had the filet, short rib ragu, focaccia & Italian salad. All were amazing! Filet was perfectly cooked (requested MR).

They didn't have cash bills for my change though when I went, but assuming it was a one time thing. read more
